John L. Sullivan Talks Fight.
New YORK, February 17.-John L. Sulli-
van came to this city from Boston yester
day to have the injured left arm examined
by his physician, DR.. Sayre. He looked in
first-class condition and seemed in excel
lent spirits. II never felt better in my
throwing open his coat and exposing to
view his arm, which was suspended in
black silk sling, land it does not bother
me much either. I can use it sufficiently to
dress without assistance. and DR.. Sayre
assures me that will be able to go on the
road the 10th OF next month. You can
bet that
TWILL GET SQUARE
with the next man that stands up before
me, and hope it will be Cardiff. have
heard nothing from either Smith or
Mitchell or their hackers, but am anxious
to fight both OF them within two weeks of
each other, but I want Mitchell first. I'll
fight either of them for all or nothing and
for any amount. Pat Sheedy will be here
from Boston Saturday to arrange for the
making Of
Il s--s-ea- CHAMPION BELT
to be presented to me by the citizens of this
city. Boston and Philadelphia. The belt
will be made OF solid gold, without a bit OF
silver, and will be set with 1913 large dia-
monds. It will be the finest thing of the
kind in the world. DR.. Sayre will break the
plaster of paris on my arm tomorrow and
make an examination, after which will
return to Boston on the first train, as my
mother is very i'll. I am not drinking a
1rop."
